Twelve Amazing Movie Infographics
We really love infographics, especially smart, savvy ones that pay homage to all my favorite pop culture references and movies. I’ve collected twelve of the coolest movie related infographics on the Web ranging from movie monsters to how to react in case of a Aliens versus Predator scenario. Seriously, don’t you want to be prepared when the alien onslaught begins?!
Movie Monsters!
Have you ever wondered how gigantic those Movie Monsters actually are? Do you spend your days constantly wondering if Mr. Stay Puft Marshmallow Man could take Megatron in a fight to the death? What about a Rancor versus Godzilla? Fear not, the first infographic comes from GeekStir, a movie-related blog that took on monsters ranging from King Kong to Clover and stacked them up to a size comparison infographic.

If you have been watching repeats of Inception on TNT recently, you are probably wondering what the hell is going on in that movie.

That definitely makes the most sense to me, but if you don’t buy into the dreaming puppy theory, here’s an infographic to illustrate all the incepty inceptions.
To Infinity and Beyond!
Now, who doesn’t love at least one Pixar movie? I bet you would be hard pressed to name a Pixar flick that doesn’t tug at your heartstrings, even just a little bit. Seriously, if you didn’t shed a single tear during the first twenty minutes of Up, you are probably a monster. Juan Pablo Bravo (blog here) has taken the majority of Pixar created characters and popped them into a GIANT size comparison chart spread over the years.
